Kahmann Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition of Willem Diepraam.
Last December, Willem Diepraam donated approximately 800 of his own photographs to the photography collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The selection contains the most important part of his production, created between 1960 and 2010.
The fact that Diepraam’s photo’s are now amongst the works of so many great artists is an honour and recognition for this photographer, who has created a beautiful oeuvre.
Partly because of his early pictures for magazines such as Vrij Nederland, Diepraam has had a big influence on Dutch photojournalism. His work has always been consistent and it has developed harmoniously in time, from his journalistic years until his fine art practises. His strength is his ability to capture the core of great stories. Open, but with a subtle commentary and in wonderful prints that show a superior craftsmanship.
